Dear Sponsors and Community Partners,

On behalf of the Board of Directors and our CEO, Mr. Buck James, we extend our sincere gratitude for your generous support of our Domestic Abuse Council 5K Run.

Your partnership and commitment helped us bring awareness to the critical issue of domestic violence and encouraged our community to stand together in support of survivors and families impacted by abuse. Because of your support, we are continuing to break the silence on an issue that is far too prevalent in our communities.

Thank you for helping us educate, empower, and inspire hope. Your contribution made a meaningful difference and helped strengthen our mission to advocate for safer and healthier communities.

Together, let us continue to break the silence and bring awareness to domestic violence.

With sincere appreciation,

Board of Directors
Domestic Abuse Council of Volusia County
